Letter to the Editor: Affordable Care Act based on Romney plan

Let’s get this straight.

First, Governor Romney created an affordable health care program for all citizens in the state of Massachusetts.

Then, for all Americans, the federal government built the Affordable Care Act based on Governor Romney’s health care plan.

Once Congress passed the ACA and President Obama signed it into law, Governor Romney was against the federal health care plan modeled on the Massachusetts plan he built.

Now, as of this past Sunday, Governor Romney likes parts of the ACA and wants to keep those parts.

On Monday, an aide to Governor Romney says that is not what Governor Romney said or meant.

Wait a minute! If an aide knows better than the governor what the governor says or believes, then shouldn’t the aide be running for that office instead?
